'Taleysim' is the Yiddish plural of the Yiddish word which is pronounced
'tah-les'.
'Talitot' and 'taliyot' are two forms of the Hebrew plural of the Hebrew
word when it is pronounced 'tah-lit'.
In locales where the Hebrew word is pronounced 'tah-lis', you will
sometimes also see a pseudo-Hebrew plural written
"tes/lamed/yud/sov/yud/mem" under the influence of the Yiddish plural.
